Germany did not lose the Battle of Britain

[Viking]

So if the British hadn’t won the battle of Britain they would have won the war right there and then?
Interesting thought!

In warfare a denial of victory for the opponent is the same as a victory.

And if you can choose when and how to engage the enemy, and also, when and how to disengage you will, eventually, win the war.

A fascinating scenario. The Kreigsmarine is defeated without the Royal Navy having to commit their capital ships. Which points out the single greatest failing of the German High Command, to wit, the complete and utter lack of understanding of the importance, and implementation, of a large blue water navy.

No, approx. 100,000 troops for the Germans killed or captured as indicated by this scenario would not be a huge loss. It would more be a question of the prestige of the army, and the fact it would be a setback in their ability to timetable an attack on the Soviets. (if they even would want to do that after a defeat in England) Remember the Wehrmacht was huge.

The Germans lost 250,000 dead and 500,000 wounded in the first year of the invasion of the Soviet Union, even though that year was pretty much an unbroken string of victories.
